Note from Sebas: Audio is not working here, today. So, no MoM notes taken from this corner.

From Gary's memory:

**Ultrascale**
The group discussed the new test focus, the Kintex-Ultrascale and noted that a KU060 DUT Card build will get in front of (or possibly supersede) the Virtex DUT card that takes advantage of footprint compatibility between Ultrascale and Ultrascale+. However, the Gen-4 motherboard backplane is needed and should remain top infrastructure development priority. 

** 7-Series **
Additionally, there are interesting possibilities for more complete 7-Series characterization, including static and dynamic user flip-flops and DSPs and the Zynq ARM A9's, driven by members' interests and resources, of course.

** Ultrascale+ **
Finally, there were discussions of the neutron-irradiation latchup-suppression technique.  We could scramble together a test of this techniques effectiveness ion the eliminating the residual latchup susceptibility of Ultrascale++.
